GEN 2 2017 BF Goodrich Tires

Not trying to pick sides here, but honestly asking a simple question. How do I buy a replacement tire for my truck if I destroy one? If I want the exact same tire as what I had, is it possible?

Click sizing and specs. Then download the file.

Part #58424 shows OE Code "FOR". That's your tire.

If anything, a retail tire would be better than OEM. Simple fact:Vehicles are mass produced and designed to make the company money. Ford specs a tire with xyz tire manufacturer and agrees on a low price since they will be buying in bulk. Xyz tire manufacturer must then mass produce said tires at a price point to make a profit therby cutting as many corners as possible to still maintain specs of said tire. Common sense would tell you anything mass produced is going to be lower quality than a product produced in lower numbers.

Do you think the Sony speakers that come in our trucks are better than the Sony speakers you buy at Walmart or Radio Shack? Yeah I think not.

Ive never heard of anything OEM being better quality/performing than aftermarket.

I work for a Polymer and Tire Producing company and I can tell you that the tires on original equipment vehicles are indeed different and better than what you can buy. Tire company have OE production lines and and even OE production plants making tires foe new cars only that private consumers cannot purchase. The compounds for OE tires are tailored for a specific model vehicle and have unique coding.

When a cusomer replaces OE tires, they are not buying the same exact tire. It is the brand, make, model, size etc, but it is not equivalent to OE.

So when Ford says ot was developed for the Raptor, this is not much different than what other companies are doing for say a Yukon or a Cadillac.

If the OP plans to purchase an aftermarket tire he should choose whatever suits him as an agtermarket KO2 will not be the same as what is on the Raptor or any other OE vehicle for that matter.

I call BS on this. I bought a new 2012 Screw FX4 and the 20" pirelli scorpion atr are junk. They are listed as 60k tires. I drove the truck on road only no burn outs , had them rotated as stated by Ford dealer service. I got a whopping 25k out of them. Dealer contacted pirelli for warranty. We were told they hold no warranty being OEM and carries no tread ware. So I promptly got a set of Toyo Open country at2 LT295/60R20 after my 2.5" level. I put 50k on them at trade in and I still could of got this summer and next winter out of them.
